The buzz has begun after the Giants grabbed a victory against the Raiders and the Cowboys got run out of the Big Easy in a blowout: Big Blue could actually win the NFC East, as crazy as it sounded just two or three weeks ago.

The stars have at least aligned for the Giants to be competitive in the final seven weeks of the season -- the Packers have a cheesehead-sized question mark hanging over their helmets now that Aaron Rodgers is injured. After next week's matchup against Green Bay, the attention will turn to the contest against the Cowboys and another NFC East tilt when the G-Men go to Washington for their first of two against the 3-6 Redskins. So it's certainly possible the Giants could win four of the contests we've listed...then again, they'll also get three tough games against the Chargers, Seahawks and Lions that could put all this talk to rest.

We're also talking about the same team that didn't look anywhere close to being a playoff squad in the first six weeks of the season. Either way, it's something players didn't want to address. "I don't care what happens. Postseason -- that's when I'll be happy. But we're taking it one game at a time; we're not worried about that. We just have to go and look forward to Green Bay come next week," Antrel Rolle said, via The Star-Ledger's Conor Orr.
